Gentlemen:
During the "marinite" study ve made on January 12, 1962, a sample was retained and submitted to the California Department of Public Health Air and Industrial Hygiene Laboratory for analysis.
The results of the analysis are as follows:
Quartz - not detected ( less than 51) Dlatomite - approximately 5% Asbestos - approximately 50X (clinochrysotile) Inorganic Filler - approximately 40Z
The quartz content and identification of asbestos species were determined by x-ray diffraction methods. Composition of other materials were based on microscopic estimate.
In view of the above analysis, we recommend that a Threshold Limit Value of 5 million particles per cubic foot of air be used when designing controls and when making studies of potential exposures to this material. This value is based on the asbestos content.
If you have any questions in regard to this report, please
